You can quarantine the attachments to a mailbox and then deliver if it is not infected.

RE: Attachment blocking Now what!
We block a wide variety of attachments that are potentially harmful, but in general allow .jpg, .gif, .avi. mpeg, etc so that our file filter doesn't get hit too hard and it tends to placate our users a bit. However, if a user needs a file that is in our file filter... we inform them (or the sender) to send the files in a password protected zip file. This allows it to get by the file filter. BTW... here's our list of blocked attachments: ADE;ADP;ASX;BAS;BAT;BIN;CHM;CMD;COM;CPL;CRT;DLL;EML;EXE;HIV;HLP;HTA;INF;INS;ISP;JS;JSE;JTD;MSC;MSI;MSP;MST;NWS;OCX;OFT;OVL;PCD;PIF;PL;PLX;REG;SCR;SCT;SH;SHB;SHS;SYS;VB;VBE;VBS;VSS;VST;VXD;WSC;WSF;WSH Now... if antigen would only support cut and paste file filtering options!!

I agree. It is pretty annoying to have to enter each extension and each action for each filter for each server by hand. I hope they will spiff up the interface to make that easier (cut and paste, import from file, something..).

Ok for those of you that block all attachments including .exe .com .jpg .gif . How do you deliver legitimate attachments to your folks. I want to implement this but I would like to hear the process of others. I don't want to have to spend all day manually delivering somebodies pictures of their kids to them. thanks in advance. dave List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
RE: Attachment blocking Now what!
On our test server we upgraded from ScanMail 3.6 to 3.8 and found that it had trouble doing the file-blocking. It would Stop EXE files for example but not VBS. Haven't had a chance to fully look into it yet, but it's something I would recomment to check out.

We make them ZIP them up...or just rename it I guess since Trend ScanMail doesn't actually check the format, at least not version 3.61. I'm planning to upgrade to 3.8 to see if it makes a difference though. The other alternative for large files (we have a 15MB limit on our message size) is to use FTP. -Original Message- From: Eldridge, Dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2002 10:13 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject:Attachment blocking Now what!
